Application: Virtual personal interface for control and travel between virtual worlds (Patent ID: US20230419618A1)

The patent filed by Meta Platforms Inc. describes methods and systems for a virtual personal interface in an artificial reality (XR) environment. This personal interface allows users to interact with XR applications, view detailed information on selected items, navigate between virtual worlds seamlessly, and execute aspects of different XR applications simultaneously. The personal interface can present content in a separate runtime while in a virtual world, providing a unique and immersive user experience. XR applications can be customized to include both 3D world portions and 2D interface portions displayed through the personal interface.

The patent further details a method for coordinating content display for virtual objects in an artificial reality environment, involving interactions between different applications and controllers. Users can select virtual objects through various actions like touch, gaze, or voice commands, triggering the display of relevant content on the personal interface. The controller associated with the virtual object can be a remotely served application or a system component like a people profile manager or digital wallet. This innovative system enhances user engagement in XR environments by seamlessly integrating multiple applications and providing detailed content through a personalized interface.
